The Dublin West Education Centre is pleased to collaborate with PPLI to offer Communities of Practice.

PPLI ‘Communities of Practice’ (CoPs) are meetings of language teachers and PMEs who share a common interest in languages and language teaching who come together regularly to share best practice, create new knowledge and exchange ideas.

The session is facilitated by Salvo Cacciato, PPLI Education Officer. By registering for this CoP, you are allowing Dublin West Education Centre to share your name and email with Post-Primary Languages Ireland (PPLI). Find out more about CoPs here.
